This was September 2, 1945, after the Japanese formally signed the surrender documents ending World War II. This is from my Dad and is the resulting celebration on Okinawa. Those are tracer rounds not fireworks
Nemesis Enforcer soars past all others, but once he arrives at the great Throne Room of his Emperor, the beast that fears nothing immediately falls submissively to his knees. With his head hung low, Nemesis Enforcer offers the blue orb to his master, the mighty Golobulus.
Golobulus: 'Rise, Nemesis Enforcer.'
The winged Enforcer does as commanded. It is then that
Golobulus takes the orb from him and smiles, turning his eyes to Pythona at his side.

"Unconditional Surrender," a 25-foot, 6,000 pound statue by world-renowned artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo was unveiled Feb. 10 at Mole Park in San Diego.
Unconditional Surrender is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.

"I'm giving you my heart
And all that is within
I'm laying it all down
For the sake of you my king
I'm giving you my dreams
I'm laying down my rights
I'm giving up my pride
For the promise of new live
And I surrender it all to you, all to you
And I surrender it all to you, all to you"

Nice atmosphere poolside.
Unfortunately, it was pretty slim picking in terms of guys :(
There were some Asian guys who were alll wearing black and I asked them if they just came from a funeral.
They played techno music the whole night, which is okay, but it felt like I was at the gym! LOL
Ah, good times...
John Garrett stuffed his checkbook in the back pocket of his jeans and turned and walked away from the school administrator. He swore to God, the next person who asked him for money was going to feel the brunt of his fury and aggravation. Impatience caused an added spike to his already soaring temper.
Did the good people of Duluth, Texas believe he wasn't already sharing his wealth? Did they think he kept his millions to himself and never supported even the smallest charity? He gave all right, and very generously so.
But evidently, it wasn't enough and the populace of the town was alwaysing up with new and better ways to spend his money. Just this month alone, he had paid for a new cafeteria for the local Baptist church. A church into which he'd never set foot, and never planned on setting foot, either. He'd funded a new wing of private rooms at the clinic that would raise the level of continuing care to that of a small hospital. And just this morning, he'd written a check big enough to supply every student in the school district with the latest iPad.
What he needed to do, and do quickly, was set up a foundation for the people of the county and hire someonepetent to run it, thereby leaving him alone and keeping his interaction with the people to a minimum.
He fully admitted to himself that he was unsocial. He flat-out didn't enjoy people. Didn't care for large crowds, didn't like small talk of any kind.
He kept to himself for the most part. His housekeeper bought his groceries; he did all his banking online. He was a loner, and he liked it that way.
He had one reason to seek outpany, and one reason only. And that was for sex. If he didn't have such a rampant sex drive, he'd probably never even feel the need to leave the ranch.
But he'd always had a very...
1973, An Israeli officer saluts ,surrenders to an Egyptian commander and hands him his Israeli flag after his post was overrun by Egyptian troops.
Surrender took place in the presence of international red cross, a privilage Egyptian POWs never had, they were either shot in heads or beeing forced to lay on sand were a tank runs over them. all by direct orders from the very civlized Harvard graduated Israeli officers.
My original idea for this was to place it all on a coloured collage background but by the time I got this far I found it wanted to stay black and white.
I am not really the boss here. I'm just the conduit.

Unconditional Surrender is one of several duplicate statues built by Seward Johnson, first in 2005 for Sarasota, Florida. Based on the photograph of the same name taken by Victor Jorgensen at the end of WWII, it has the same scene as the more famous V–J day in Times Square by the same photographer, the difference being Unconditional Surrender is in the public domain. The statue immediately ran into controversy, with many criticizing its kitsch, though it proved popular with tourists. In 2007 the statue was moved to San Diego where it immediate ran into the same controversies and mixed popularity. In 2012 the statue was replaced by one in bronze, an action that also led to the resignation of three members of the San Diego Unified Port District. Sitting in front of the USS Midway, the statue has again proved popular with tourists, many of whom replicate the kiss or look up the woman's skirt.
Additional statues have been erected in Hamilton, New Jersey, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Caen, France, where it again faced mixed reviews.

A visit to Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum and Village in Wiltshire.
Lacock Abbey in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England, was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. The abbey remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century; it was then sold to Sir William Sharington who converted the convent into a residence where he and his family lived. It was fortified and remained loyal to the crown during the English Civil War, but surrendered to the Parliamentary forces once Devizes had fallen in 1645.
The house was built over the old cloisters and its main rooms are on the first floor. It is a stone house with stone slated roofs, twisted chimney stacks and mullioned windows. Throughout the life of the building, many architectural alterations, additions, and renovations have occurred so that the house is a mish-mash of different periods and styles. The Tudor stable courtyard to the north of the house has retained many of its original features including the brewhouse and bakehouse.
The house later passed into the hands of the Talbot family, and during the 19th century was the residence of William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 he made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, an image of one of the windows.
In 1944 artist Matilda Theresa Talbot gave the house and the surrounding village of Lacock to the National Trust. The abbey houses the Fox Talbot Museum, devoted to the pioneering work of William Talbot in the field of photography. The Trust markets the abbey and village together as "Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum & Village". The abbey is a Grade I listed building, having been so designated on 20 December 1960.

Seward Johnson sculpture of an iconic photo from Times Square New York celebrating the surrender of the Japanese ending World War II (August 1945). The real story behind the photo when years later the woman who was the nurse's story was discovered was that her participation in this was not exactly willing. - Downtown Sarasota, Florida
